Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher sharply criticized his team following the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against PSG. According to the expert, the Merseysiders performed like a team from a lower division. Goal.com reports this.
Carragher specifically highlighted the disorganization in the team's defensive line. According to him, Liverpool played well below their level due to a lack of communication and clear structure among the defenders.
He also noted that the team's traditional pressing style had completely disappeared.
The club legend stated that the players were sluggish on the pitch and were tactically outmatched by the opponent. Carragher assessed this level of performance from Jurgen Klopp's side as a sign of serious psychological and tactical issues.
Although the coaching staff cited injuries and the recovery process as reasons, Carragher said such excuses cannot hide the team's weakness. He warned that Liverpool's standards have declined against the backdrop of PSG's disciplined and technically superior play.
